Liquid crystal display with a plurality of liquid crystal display modules

Abstract

The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display. A liquid crystal display includes: a mounting plate; a backlight unit; a plurality of liquid crystal panels which are arranged to be adjacent in a state of being spaced from an upper surface of the mounting plate; a fixing frame which is connected to the mounting frame and includes portions extending along neighboring edges of the plurality of the liquid crystal panels in a state of being spaced from one another by a predetermined distance; and a fixing bar which is fitted between the adjacent portions of the fixing frame in a state of pressing edges of the neighboring liquid crystal panels among the plurality of the liquid crystal panels. Since a liquid crystal panel is fixed by a fixing bar, the liquid crystal panel can be fixed more firmly with a simple structure.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A liquid crystal display comprising:
 a mounting plate; 
 a backlight unit which is mounted to the mounting plate; 
 a plurality of liquid crystal panels which are arranged adjacent each other and spaced from an upper surface of the mounting plate; 
 a fixing frame which is connected to the mounting plate and includes portions extending along neighboring edges of the plurality of the liquid crystal panels, the portions being spaced from one another by a predetermined distance; 
 a fixing bar, which is fitted between adjacent portions of the portions of the fixing frame, pressing edges of neighboring liquid crystal panels among the plurality of the liquid crystal panels, the edges of the neighboring liquid crystal panels being uppermost surfaces of the neighboring liquid crystal panels, wherein the fixing bar includes
 a pillar which is fitted between the adjacent portions of the fixing frame, and 
 a head extending along a lateral direction at an upper end of the pillar to press the edges of the neighboring liquid crystal panels, the head being directly above the neighboring liquid crystal panels along a straight line perpendicular to one of the uppermost surfaces of the neighboring liquid crystal panels; 
 
 a tempered glass, which covers upper surfaces of the plurality of the liquid crystal panels, pressing an upper surface of the fixing bar and further pressing the head, the tempered glass pressing the head so as to press the neighboring liquid crystal panels via the head, the tempered glass touching an upper surface of the head; and 
 an adhesive tape touching the head and the edges of the neighboring liquid crystal panels, 
 the tempered glass pressing the neighboring liquid crystal panels via the head and the adhesive tape. 
 
     
     
       2. The liquid crystal display of  claim 1 , further comprising an optical sheet disposed under one of the liquid crystal panels, and wherein a groove to which the optical sheet is inserted is formed on an inside surface of the fixing frame. 
     
     
       3. A liquid crystal display comprising:
 a mounting plate; 
 a plurality of liquid crystal display modules each including a liquid crystal panel, the liquid crystal panels being arranged to be adjacent each other and spaced from an upper surface of the mounting plate; 
 a fixing frame which is connected to the mounting plate and includes portions extending along neighboring edges of the plurality of the liquid crystal panels, the portions being spaced from one another by a predetermined distance; 
 a fixing bar, which is fitted between adjacent portions of the portions of the fixing frame, pressing edges of neighboring liquid crystal panels among the plurality of the liquid crystal panels, the edges of the neighboring liquid crystal panels being uppermost surfaces of the neighboring liquid crystal panels, wherein the fixing bar includes
 a pillar which is fitted between the adjacent portions of the fixing frame, and 
 a head extending along a lateral direction at an upper end of the pillar to press the edges of the neighboring liquid crystal panels, the head being directly above the neighboring liquid crystal panels along a straight line perpendicular to one of the uppermost surfaces of the neighboring liquid crystal panels; 
 
 a tempered glass, which covers upper surfaces of the plurality of the liquid crystal display modules, pressing an upper surface of the fixing bar and pressing the head, the tempered glass pressing the head so as to press the neighboring liquid crystal panels via the head, the tempered glass touching an upper surface of the head; and 
 an adhesive tape touching the head and the edges of the neighboring liquid crystal panels, 
 the tempered glass pressing the neighboring liquid crystal panels via the head and the adhesive tape. 
 
     
     
       4. The liquid crystal display of  claim 3 , wherein each liquid crystal display module comprises:
 an optical sheet disposed under the liquid crystal panel; and 
 a backlight unit which is disposed below the optical sheet, 
 and wherein a groove to which the optical sheet is inserted is formed on an inside surface of the fixing frame. 
 
     
     
       5. The liquid crystal display of  claim 4 , wherein for each liquid crystal display module, the backlight unit is disposed onto an upper surface of the mounting plate. 
     
     
       6. The liquid crystal display of  claim 3 , wherein the lateral direction is a direction parallel with an upper surface of the neighboring liquid crystal panels. 
     
     
       7. The liquid crystal display of  claim 3 , wherein the upper surface of the fixing bar is the upper surface of the head. 
     
     
       8. The liquid crystal display of  claim 1 , wherein the lateral direction is a direction parallel with an upper surface of the neighboring liquid crystal panels. 
     
     
       9. The liquid crystal display of  claim 1 , wherein the upper surface of the fixing bar is the upper surface of the head.
